Bit late in the day for this...I'm neither pro or anti royalty but whilst away I did think about the hypocrisy surrounding all this Jubilee hype and the JB case ie Sheila's birth grandfather being a canon at the Queen's coronation and JB's birth father working for the Queen's household.  Dunno don't feel right?  I guess what I'm saying is look what happened to Sheila and Jeremy whilst the birth families lord it up with royalty?


I'm pro monarchy because our consitutional monarchy works reasonably well for us, though perhaps not as well as it once did? The hype did seen overdone in some ways, but what a glorious spectacle it was! I loved it.
